carole ~ Haven't been to Iceland (yet), but I'd have to agree that Zealanders are very friendly. Bobcat and loved our trip in 1987. Can't believe it's been so long....

The Aussies were nice to us too, though one guy yelled "War Monger!" at Bobcat. We never really figured it out. Bobcat was wearing a Banana Republic t-shirt. Maybe the guy didn't know that was the name of a store.....

Anyway ~Congrats to New Zealand!

FRIENDLIEST country in the world, ICELAND was first, how about that, so come on down people's and see for yourself.

A trip to New Zealand and Australia is high on my "bucket" list! I had an opportunity that I should have pounced on, but I let it get away. Maybe 10 years ago, the band from my college was going to Sydney, Australia as part of an international music festival. The director contacted me and a few other band alumni because they needed a few chaperones. It was an 18-day tour and I couldn't get that much time off work. I should have insisted. Stupid me.

I've been Boo'd... right off the stage!

Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

The pictures that I've seen of New Zealand are awesome. Of course I'm also aware that the tourism industry puts forth only the best of the best. I'd still love to visit there, but unfortunately that will never happen. I'll just have to be content seeing all of the great pictures of that beautiful land so far away.

To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.
Ecclesiastes 3:1

The clock of life is wound but once and no man has the power
To know just when the hands will stop - on what day, or what hour.
Now is the only time you have, so live it with a will -
Don't wait until tomorrow - the hands may then be still.

We love the photos and films of New Zealand, the views are spectacular and of course, we know you are so nice! A friend of mine made the New Zealand newspaper many years ago when she and her boyfriend (now husband) were hiking in the mountains, and he slipped and was badly injured and needed rescue.
